Summer DaysThe splashing of the water, the screams of young children, and waking up any time you want make summer the best season of all! Summer is when school and sun is out and you can take the time to relax after a long school year. Summer is the best season because of the relaxation, the free time, and the time you get to spend with your friends and family. This is why summer is the best season of all!

The first reason summer is the best season is because of the relaxation. Whether you’re sitting on the beach drinking a cold soda or inside your cool house laying around in your pajamas summer is a way that forces you to relax, kick back, and enjoy the small things in life. What I love to do is sleep in as long as I can until I can force myself to get up… You can only really do this in the summer when school is out.

The second reason of why summer is the best season is because of the free time. The time you have during summer is always productive in a way, even if it is relaxing because you are letting your body recover from a long school year. You can spend your free time doing anything such as learning a new langue, trying a new sport, or working for a charity that you couldn’t do before because you didn’t have the time!

The third reason of why summer is the best season is the time you get to spend with all your friends. I love my friends, but I rarely get to see them during the school year, so summer for me is great! We plan parties at the beach, hang out at each other’s houses, and go out in rivers in the woods and swim. Last summer we would go to this place called Big Jump where it was out in the middle of the woods and you would climb up about 40 feet up in a tree and jump off. It was the best time of my life!

So it is no doubt that summer is the best season of all because of the relaxation, the free time, and the time you get to spend with your friends and family. I can’t wait for next summer and...

... Summer is the bestseason of the year
Summer in Nigeria signifies the season when there is no rainfall. It is the season where most events and expeditions are organized. In summer, people express themselves more freely and confidently. Children can be seen jumping around in excitement and flexing their tender muscles on the playground and outside. Adults and youths too do several things in summer. They organize concerts and go to the beach in summer for fun and excitement. Going to the beach in summer can be fun with people dressed in colorful swimming trunks and walking in the sun.
Also, people tend to smoke less during summer compared to winter period. I noticed that the colder it gets, the more tempted people are to buy more cigarette packs. Some people get so carried away with smoking in winter that they overdo it despite the warning that smokers are liable to die young. Again, cigarette remains and ruins litter the street.
In summer, airline operators don’t have much problems in transmitting signals compared to winter or rainy season. Airlines operate more freely when the skies are clear in the shinning sun. Similarly, it is easier to transmit signals on ferries and ships in summer. The sea and water bodies are calm which makes travelling on water safer....

Summer
The season I most look forward to each year is summer. I enjoy all the seasons but summer is my most favorite season. Summer feels like freedom and puts me in a good mood. I have three reasons why summer is my favorite.
One of the reasons I love summer is because of the weather. The suns out, days are hot and the pools are open. It’s nice to be able to outside and get tan lines and feel the nice hot weather. My friends and I would go to the RAC in Rochester and swim there the whole day. We would try out the slide and eat pizzas at the concessions stands.
There is a place that my family and I would go every summer, we would go to Wisconsin Dells. It’s an all-fun town for people to go and explore the different waterparks. Noah’s Ark Park is our favorite place to stay. It’s a waterpark and a theme park together. When it’s very hot outside, we would mostly go to the waterpark and get wet. The wave pool called the Poseidon is my ultimate favorite.
The major reason why summer has the edge over the rest of the seasons is
Golf season! It’s the best sport in history. There’s nothing like the excitement and intensity that golf gives me. I love going out on the course and practicing hitting golf balls in the summer. I love stepping on the course and...

...﻿ Summer, the smell of fresh-cut grass wafting through the air, the sound of the ice cream truck making its way through your neighborhood, or the sound of kids screaming, laughing, and jumping into the pool on a hot summer day. This is the only season you would see these things happening, and that what I love so much about it. There’s not a day during summer, that you cant find something to do and if your like me either stuck at school or work your wishing you were outside enjoying the beautiful weather. There is so many reasons why summer is my favorite season of the year but mostly because of the warm weather, spending more time with family, and of course our annual beach trip.
The first thing I think of when I think of summer is the weather. The warm weather is perfect for outdoor activities like the waterpark or pool for the kids and the river or grilling out for adults. The options are endless when the weather is beautiful with the sun out, not a cloud in the sky and a slight cool breeze. When it is cold outside no one feels like doing anything, especially walking out of the house. All you want to do is stay warm, bundled up in a blanket, with a warm drink. But during the summer when it is hot outside all you want to do is be outside jumping on the trampoline, swimming in the pool or if you don’t have a pool, a water hose will do. I think kids’ playing...

...﻿Sleep - Sleep is a naturally recurring state characterized by reduced or absent consciousness, relatively suspended sensory activity, and inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles
Stages of sleep
The Beginnings of Sleep
During the earliest phases of sleep, you are still relatively awake and alert. The brain produces what are known as beta waves, which are small and fast. As the brain begins to relax and slow down, slower waves known as alpha waves are produced. During this time when you are not quite asleep, you may experience strange and extremely vivid sensations known as hypnagogic hallucinations. Common examples of this phenomenon include feeling like you are falling or hearing someone call your name.
Another very common event during this period is known as a myoclonic jerk. If you've ever startled suddenly for seemingly no reason at all, then you have experienced this odd phenomenon. While it may seem unusual, these myoclonic jerks are actually quite common.
Stage 1
Stage 1 is the beginning of the sleep cycle, and is a relatively light stage of sleep. Stage 1 can be considered a transition period between wakefulness and sleep. In Stage 1, the brain produces high amplitude theta waves, which are very slow brain waves. This period of sleep lasts only a brief time (around 5-10 minutes). If you awaken someone during this stage, they might...

“Summer Getaway”
I just can’t wait until summer. With all of those plans to do, it’s really going to be fun! I’ll tell you my awesome plans.
This summer I’m going to Boracay! When school gets out were going there. Along the way we might make some stops. First we will leave San pedro laguna and go to Kalibo, Aklan and stay there a day. One of the Sundays in boracay will be the most fun because we’re going too an island. After that, I might go swimming with my family. When we come back I will play volleyball mostly. Since the summer gets really hot I will enjoy getting wet at the beach. I may fish there, too. I hope I catch a fish to eat. When I go to the water park I will run through the water and get wet. I could always take my water gun and spray myself, too. My Dad and I might have a water balloon fight. We’ll see who will win.
If I get too hot, I will cool down by watching some TV or I will read.
There’s just so much fun stuff to do in the summer.
What summer means to me….. Well, it’s hard to say. It’s hard to think about it when there’s so much to say. Summer means, no school, no homework, and no schedule! You can sleep in, go to the beach and pool, and just have plain fun! All you really do in summer is play with your friends in the hot sun!!!!!
The plans for our family are to drive up to Boston, Massachusetts and probably go to a...

...﻿Effects of Sleep Deprivation on College Students
A Speech Outline
Introduction
Attention getting material
40% of Americans (100 million people) are moderately to severely sleep-deprived!
College students are among the most sleep deprived people in our population. 60% are sleepy during the day and 30% fall asleep in class at least once a week...* The National Sleep Foundation states that adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep per night. (National Sleep Foundation, 2005).
Sleep and college life often seem mutually exclusive. All-night study sessions, stress, socializing and the freedom to choose when to sleep; all work together to disrupt sleep in college.

According to the National Sleep Foundation’s 2005 Sleep in America poll, 60% of adult drivers – about 168 million people – say they have driven a vehicle while feeling drowsy in the past year, and more than one-third, (37% or 103 million people), have actually fallen asleep at the wheel!

...Sleep: Sample Essay
What is sleep, and is it possible that we might change our sleep patterns to reduce the number if hours of sleep we need? All animals including humans need sleep. For a period of time during each twenty four hours every living creature must spend more time in a state of sleep. During this time, the bodily functions slow down and the individual “loses consciousness” or becomes unaware of noise or movement. The amount of sleep we need varies from species to species and even from individual to individual. Different people need different amounts of sleep, from 1 1/2 hours a day to 12 hours a day, but it appears that most normal adults need an average of 7 1/2 hours a day. The need for sleep also changes according to age: babies need more sleep than most adults and as we get older we need less sleep. In any case, we spend a lot of our time sleeping or feeling tired if we don’t get enough sleep. Many people feel that sleeping 7 or 8 hours a day is a waste of time. It would be nice if we could limit the amount of sleep we need to only a couple of hours a day so we would have more time to do the things we enjoy or to make money. Leonardo da Vinci, who was a very productive individual, seemed to find the secret for gaining more hours in the day. He discovered that if he behaved more...
